What kind of fuel do cars run on?
Most passenger cars run on gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel (including biodiesel), or alcohol (including ethanol mixed with gasoline). A few multi-passenger vehicles run on natural gas. Extreme race cars can run on straight alcohol (as do some cars in countries like Brazil). Probably 80% of the cars and pickups run on gasoline and most of the rest on diesel.
What green fuels can be used in diesel cars?
BioDiesel is the only "green" fuel that can be used.
Can Biofuel be used to run ships?
Yes, biofuel, like biodiesel, will run in diesel engines. Many ships have diesel engines run on fossil fuel diesel and they will easily run on biofuel.
What fuel do most cars run on?
The vast majority of passenger cars run on gasoline (petrol) or gasoline mixed with ethanol. Some run on diesel fuel (or biodiesel), which most large trucks and buses use. A small minority of cars are all-electric or hybrid electric. Some buses and trucks run on natural gas.
Are converters required for biodiesel?
Any diesel engine can run on quality biodiesel. Older engines even better. New engines can loose their warranty if you use biodiesel, so please check.
What is diesel?
Diesel is a fuel burned in some vehicles. It is produced from petroleum, just like regular gasoline. The most popular/well-known brand of diesel engines is Powerstroke, from Ford Motor Company. Other forms of diesel are BioDiesel. BioDiesel is made out of corn. If you've ever heard of "B20" that means 20% BioDiesel. The mixture is 20% BioDiesel and 80% Regular Diesel. If you hear "B40" it is 40% BioDiesel and 60% Regular Diesel. If it is "B100" it is 100% BioDiesel and 0% Regular Diesel. That is what diesel is....
Who invented biodiesel and when?
It could actually be said that Biodiesel had its origins with the invention of the diesel engine, as the diesel engine was designed to run on Biodiesel. Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the Diesel engine, designed a single 3 m iron cylinder with a flywheel at its base which ran on its own power for the first time in Augsburg, Germany on 10 August 1893. August 10 is now International Biodiesel Day, to commemorate this event. The diesel engine was originally intended to run on bio-fuel such as vegetable oil, rather than the petroleum-based diesel fuels mainly used today.
What kind of fuel can be used in cars instead of diesel?
Gasoline is the most common type of fuel used in cars in North America because cars there use an internal combustion engine. A diesel motor can also use Biodiesel.
Is biodiesel better then diesel?
No, it is not.
